It's significant in light of this link from another thread talking about Obama's kingmakers and the passing of the neocon hold on power.

It's not in the transcript - tell me if the  is where "O" was uttered:

Joining us now, the former chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, Terry McAuliffe. He's also a former chairman of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee. Terry, thanks very much for coming in.
TERRY MCAULIFFE, CLINTON CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN: You bet, Wolf. Great to be with you. BLITZER: All right. What's your reaction to Joe Biden? I know you would have loved to have seen Barack Obama pick Hillary Clinton. That didn't happen. But what do you think about this Biden vice presidential announcement?
MCAULIFFE: Yeah. Sure, I would have loved Hillary, but I predicted on your show a month and a half ago that I thought it would be Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden brings a lot to the ticket. We're excited. I've helped Joe Biden a lot. Hillary Clinton, best friends with Joe Biden. I think it's a great pick.
MCAULIFFE: It helps us with the national security issues. Born in Scranton. Obviously, the Delaware market goes into the Pennsylvania media market in Philadelphia. So politically, it helps us in Pennsylvania.
But there's nobody better. And I said this in 2004, there was no one better for us on television to talk about the issues in the Middle East than Joe Biden. So I think it's a huge lift for Senator Obama.
I think it's a great ticket. All the Democrats are coming together and I think Independents and Republicans watch those two speeches today and say, you know what, these are the two gentleman we want to take over this government and take us into the new world , change the world, bring things together, work together, get us health care, get us out of this mess in Iraq. So we're all very excited about it. I think it's a great pick.
